Baseball America On Pac-10, Big West Baseball
Baseball America has published its projections for the Pac-10 conference, which suggest UCLA will take first place, and USC will go down fifth, after the team's second losing season in three years. In the Big West, Fullerton will again place first, despite heavy recruiting from the pros. Fullerton also sports four of the top ten draft picks in the conference projected to go in the 2007/2008 draft, while the Dirtbags have two:
Long Beach State missed regionals last year and will be hard-pressed to get back this year with what coach Mike Weathers is calling the youngest team in his six years at the helm. Three-quarters of the infield is back, including Big West freshman of the year Danny Espinosa, who continues the school's tradition of strong shortstops. But the pitching staff will be almost completely rebuilt, with sophomore righthander Vance Worley the only experienced arm returning. Worley had a 3.82 ERA last season, but it was 1.65 over the last two months of the season. With 21 underclassmen, the Dirtbags should look much more formidable in 2008.UC Davis will join the Big West next year, making it a nine-team conference; they're playing a schedule that features many of their future in-conference opponents this year.
